A semi slouchy toque that tells a story of the beautiful coastline seen from the Sea to Sky Highway between Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia. Seabirds flock together over a brim of undulating ocean, majestic mountains beyond and a vast open sky that all blend together so seamlessly.

This pattern is divided into sections for the sea, birds and mountains, creating a fun knit with a variety of stitches to keep the interest flowing. Basic cable work involved, links are provided for video instruction.
